well, I did a quick rebuild wednesday night. I shortened it by about an inch and a half. Only slightly touches on really steep dips but if I take them at an angle it's fine. all drive way approaches are fine now.

It worked really well, averaged mid 40's through the hilly parts of Iowa. The really flat 104 mile stretch from my friends house in Waterloo, to Dubuque I only needed 2 gallons of gas. Thats 50 freakin mpg... The stretch from dubuque to chicago and back to iowa will be lucky to break 40 because you have no choice to put your foot down so much in this freakin city.
